Mike Shumann, the TV sports reporter and anchor who last month was caught stealing a jacket belonging to a Warriors employee, has resigned from ABC7/KGO, the company announced over the weekend.

In a release, KGO said Shumann admitted to the theft two weeks ago. He swiped the piece of apparel from the Warriors' director of security.

Video of the incident surfaced on April 24 and clearly shows Shumann picking up a white jacket, balling it up, placing it in his bag and leaving the arena in San Antonio, where Golden State was facing the Spurs in an opening-round NBA playoff series.

Shumann had been taken off Warriors coverage prior to Game 4 of the series, which the team later won in five games.

Shumann, a former NFL wide receiver who won a Super Bowl with the 49ers in 1981, released the following statement: "I regret any embarrassment I have caused the station. My recent actions do not reflect the high standard of conduct expected at KGO. Nor do they represent the integrity with which I have conducted my professional sports and broadcast careers."
